SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF LINNAUS.

sketch of the life of the illustrious author of systema-
botany, which has been so nearly ecinad by his
indefatigable labors.

years. anes 2 he found his way every where
well and happily.
At the age of nineteen, his tutors, like the a
instructors of Newton at Cambridge, gave him upa
